Multi Unit Hair Grafting

Recommended Posts

I had a consultation with a place called the PAI Medical Group. The initial consultation was quoting me $13,900 for 6000-8000 Multi Unit Hair Grafting for FUT. I am new to this and wondering what is multi unit hair grafting and is this a reasonable price?

That is a shame that they use marketing verbiage like that. After doing a text search, the actual surgeon who would be doing the procedure, Dr. Pawlinga is recommended on this forum here. How can I find another doctor in my area that comes recommended in my area -- are there truly no recommended surgeons in TN?

I can't vouch for or against that doctor, but that is unfortunate marketing by their website.

Be very discerning, and don't be married to a doctor being close to your area as your primary decision maker, travel around the US shouldn't be a major obstacle for you when making your decision, it's worth it to do so.

I took a year of investigating before deciding on a doctor, did almost ten consults in person or online, and ultimately traveled all the way from Austin, Texas to Portland, Oregon to make sure I was in capable hands.

There's a database of doctors on here you can peruse, but I advise against making close proximity to where you live being the primary criteria for picking them above all else.

I did a lot of research on this prior to HT.
My understanding is that the main reason smoking tobacco is contraindicated for HT or basically any type of surgery is because nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. This means it constricts the veins, raises blood pressure, and can cause less blood supply. It’s why smoking is associated with heart disease and high blood pressure.
Cannabis/THC is generally understood to be a vasodilator. This means it opens the blood vessels, increases blood supply, and lowers blood pressure. It’s why THC can be a wonderful medication for glaucoma, for instance, as it can reduce intraocular pressure. In theory, this may be good for newly placed grafts. It’s at least probably not as bad as nicotine, particularly if vaped or eaten.
My understanding is that the act of lighting any plant on fire isn’t really the thing here, it’s the blood flow effects of the active ingredients.
